Songs ending abruptly
 

Every "completed" song I've downloaded just ends abuptly before it should actually end. Does anyone have any idea what is goiing on here?

I've experienced the same problem with regards to songs ending abruptly. I'm new to Gnutella and one of the songs I just downloaded complete is called; Domino-Salsa Merengue (Dance Mix).MP3. This is not the only one that just ends before it should. If anyone has an answer... I'd like to hear about it.

Most likely, it's a corrupt mp3 file. Go to www.versiontracker.com and get HexEdit. It's a low level hex editor that will let you look at the contents of any file regardless of its kind. Drag the Mp3 onto HexEdit's icon and open the file. You'll see several columns of numbers and letters. This is the data in the file. Scroll through the entire length of the mp3 file to examine all it's contents. It should be a constant stream of nonsense characters. If, instead, you ever see gaps filled with 0's (like thousands of zeros in a row) you have a corrupt/damaged mp3 file. Try downloading it or a different version again.

Hope this helps....

Or sometimes people leave a not-completely-downloaded mp3 in their shared directory. Always check your new downloads and trash the faulty. Please.
